Answer = no, the guy has shown all kinds of issues re biting, pinching, diving, victim mentality, generally dislikable and make no mistake like Tevez will stay no where without starting to angle for money or exit in a year.
Re the racist stuff, people quickly forget his reaction (which for me says much more than whatever he said or how he said it). If he really said something that was "misinterpreted" or a cultural mix up, all he had to do post game or post the initial accusation was "Hey, I'm sorry, cultural misunderstanding, was never meant to be racist, I understand my responsibility as a role model and apologies for any unintended offense", say that, have him and Pool contribute a few quid to an anti racism campaign and the whole issue would have been dead before it started.
The fact that weeks/months later he was still trying to play the cultural victim card while never quite acknowledging what he said could be interpreted a certain way shows his true colours for me.
